As an example, surely you are aware about the ongoing discussions about whether abortion is ethical? Do you think people are just playing mental games for fun when they discuss that? Do you really think that it is not two different ethical systems clashing?
- emptysongglass 3y agoNo I don't think people are playing mental games for fun. I think debates like these are not centered on the individual and their own responsibility to their and another's suffering. In the case of abortion it's still the case that the mother is engaged in her own inquiry of harm. Notice how I've not brought myself into the picture. That doesn't mean it can't be a complex inquiry but it is still her own inquiry and it is firmly rooted in suffering.
- bluGill 3y agoYou have completely ignored the babies suffering here. Until you can recognize in cases of abortion there are two parties with different interests we cannot make progress. (we probably cannot even after understanding that, but maybe we can be civil)
